With the information provided, you are telling ET that you have a system with no basis that it "HAS" worked. A more thorough explanation and details of your system would help you get more attention. At least, find a way to test your system... Or wait 2-3 years for the system to prove...

A few years back, a friend was trading using 2 DSL (1 as backup). I learned from him that it doesn't matter how many DSL lines you have, you only use one phone line. His phone line went down and both his DSL line went down. DSL and Cable line is the way to go.
